Leave Oshiomhole alone, ACN tells PDP

The Action Congress of Nigeria has slammed the PDP for seeking to disparage and distract Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party described the PDP as hypocritical.

“PDP is behaving like the Roman emperor, Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned. A ruling party bogged down by a monumental internal crisis that has now torn its tattered umbrella to shreds.

“There is failure of governance at the centre, killing of innocent Nigerians in Baga and widespread insecurity in the land and the PDP is wasting the time it doesn’t have to peddle lies against an acknowledged state builder like Oshiomhole,” it said.

ACN described the PDP’s allegation of rigging the Edo council polls as illogical, saying if the PDP could not win an election in any council during the last governorship poll in the state, despite being in control of the paraphernalia of state power, including the police, it should not have expected any miracle in the council elections.

Lai Mohammed couldn’t have been more accurate I his statement. Oshiomole could not have been a PDP member by any means because his rerumee did qualify him for such. He is not a born liar, no degree in Robbery, has no oversea bank accounts, never attended any assassins academy nor had affiliation to one. No degree in Nigeria Political Academy of Curruption and Embesselment (NPACE) and has no field experience in Contract Awarding and Manipulation Bravado (CAMB). In fact, Oshiomolo is naive about PDPs quality and purpose and therefore has been disqualified.

Lai Mohammed should not stress himself because of dis pindinpin .. Osho baba is enough to face them .

Lai Mohammed is not sincere. In Kogi State, the ACN is holding protest to stop today’s Local Govt Election, which has not even been held, saying that it is not free and fair. Lai Mohammed’s ACN in Kwara State is divided. Let him also put his house in order. He throws stones at GEJ, but when one stone is cast at his ACN and Gov. Oshiomoloe, the righteous, for a self-inflicted sham local govt election, he shouts hoarse. How can Gov. Oshiomole during his time have started Primary School at age 3? ACN went to court to say that the Electoral Act which requires political parties to hold primaries in order to determine their candidates as illegal imposition, but the court said no!. What do they do in the USA from where we copied the Presidential system? Wihtout primaries could President Obama or John McCain have emerged? How can a party choose not to use worldwide recognized method of choosing its flag bearer, but would prefer imposition by leaders who are bigger than their followers because they provide the finance. Is that not George Orwell’s Animal Farm Party? You can call me names, if you like, but our democracy should not be subject to the whips and caprices of some selected party leaders anywhere. In Edo State Gov. Oshimole selected his council chairmen, there was no primaries, many decamped to PDP and others are in court. I am not saying Gov, Oshiomole has not developed Edo State, but we must be weary of Robin Hood thieves. Good governance is much more than building roads, it requires probity, integrity and adherecnce to laid down rules by practicioners for it to become enduring. Hitler and Mussolini also built roads.

Very good and intelligent comment. Oshiomhole is deemed to be doing well because people compare his performance with the zero performance of ex Gov. Igbinedion. Let us leave out oil producing states like Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa. Oshiomhole has not done half of what the governors of Gombe, Kwara, Cross River, Osun and Enugu have done for their states in the past five years. He renovated (and not construct) roads in Benin – City and he deserves to be commended for this. But I wish you pay a visit to the states earlier mentioned to compare notes. I visited Calabar last month and I wept for my Edo State.. Any road in Calabar not tarred is being tarred. The same is replicated in the two other senatorial districts. The taps are running and the streets are clean. The people are not subjected to prohibitive school fees and taxes. Enugu is in a world of its own. Gov Chime has transformed the Enugu town and the state to a position of excellence. These governors are noiseless about their achivements. With the recent LGA election in Edo State, the state has made a significant step backwards. The Comrade was stoned by his own ACN supporters in his Auchi for imposing an unpopular candidate on them. The fact that the ACN spokesperson, Lai Mohammed, is denying all these indicates there is no way forward in sight for this country. May God help us.

What is the special thing that you see in Kwara that make you conclude that much has been achieved in the last 5 years? Since the administration of Bukola Saraki, billions have been spent on water, till today, there is no water running anywhere. Only the roads in Ilorin( the state capital) are been tarred and patched regularly bcos of people like you that will have the impression that it is like that throughout the state. Workers are not taking care of, and sad enough, there is no reliable union. A level 13 officer in kwara state take a salary equivalent to level 9 officer in Osun state. For good four years, staff may not have an increment of step, govt do increase step or promote staff when election is getting close. Please, for now dont count kwara as one of the state where government is doing well, the only hope is when APC take over in 2015.

i am from kwara, leave it aside, the governance of that state is nothing to write home about, cross river? hmm! i was in cross river one year for my NYSC, Liyel Imoke is a shame, he is like what the NFA used to be, always travelling, never in the state where he governs, much of the good works you see in that state were done by donald duke and the previous leaders of that state. i can say of enugu and Gombe, i have not been to those states, and even in those states the amount of Roth that the governors inherited is not like the one oshiomole inherited from the past disastrous leaders edo had.

The problem with oshiomhole is that he is not tactical after an election: he has special adviser on media matters, commissioner for information, security adviser etc whose jobs are to respond to good and bad news but the GOV.has taken the fast lane that would rubbish the goodwill Edo people freely gave him. Let Adam take up a responsible wife that will look up to his face as a woman and mother, make him sober and reflective after a dose of love, remind him of the circumstancial mandate and that he cannot spend all his life fighting everybody.Adam was not voted as Gov. becos of his height, size,or handsomeness but as an alternative to years of PDP holocust/cult.He should devote the remaining years on how to industrialize Edo state as a measure to reduce cult activities
